Have you compiled your own kernel? I can't find a loop.o module with
the latest precompiled one (I use the procompiled one rather than my own
for the sound.o module :) )
Anyway, as for loopback, you'll probably need to go and grab losetup
from somewhere. It's not in ArmLinux, but is on slackware. Hopefuly it'll
compile OK.
I suspect we really need to use RedHat4 rather than 3 (Isn't that what
we're using now?), as 3 is getting a bit long in the tooth now...
